Looking for Henry (sometimes Harry) Deeley (sometimes Daley!) in 1901 and 1891 - born 1876
He married Emily Heath in 1897 and they lived in Birmingham.
Help!

Thanks

It must be the ones from Darwin St -his wife's maiden name was Heath and their daughter was Emily, born 1899 (although she was known as Dolly).
It's such a pain when the surname changes like that. No one in our family knows why, but it was happening right up to the late 1930s! There's even an electoral roll I've seen with 2 brothers in the same house - one Deeley and one Daley!
Thanks both for the look-ups.
Craig
